Appropriates funds to stockpile a one-year supply of mifepristone to protect reproductive rights.

This bill appropriates $75,000 to the Hawaii Department of Health to purchase and store a one-year supply of mifepristone, an abortifacient medication. The purpose is to ensure access to abortion services within the state, in light of recent federal legal developments that threaten reproductive rights. The department will coordinate with local pharmacies to procure the medication. This action aims to uphold the state's commitment to privacy and bodily autonomy, as affirmed by Hawaii's constitutional and legislative history.
